  1. So there's ambition, here, yes--but where there's ambition, there's often overambition, and so it goes here.
  2. When they rock out they are truly bruising, but, happily, their music is now underpinned with a new-found serenity.
  3. This grand musical quest is often fruitless, and leaves this listener wondering what might have been, had the group demanded less of themselves.
  4. The first three songs will undoubtedly hook any listener into continuing the album, but the listener will find nothing as impressive as that opening statement.
  5. Too quick and severe on the brakes, Black Mountain stunt their own grandiosity in the name of dynamics or patience.

    I admit, I'm a fan. But this is definitely their best effort! One of my favourite "modern" rock-albums. If you haven't got this album already,I admit, I'm a fan.

    One of the best rock albums, maybe of ever. Nice combination of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.

    Because they've chosen to REALLY rock one style, the thrill from their first record is missing. More predicatable. Damn rocking but on Because they've chosen to REALLY rock one style, the thrill from their first record is missing. More predicatable. Damn rocking but on some level, I was expecting more. Don't get me wrong, In The Future is fantastic, but I can hear that these guys are one of the greatest bands currently playing, and this record is only so indicative of that. Full Review »
